Abortion is a very powerful and problematic wedge issue. It seems like one of those things where if the Devil himself said he would ban abortions (irrespective of what else he would do, as the Devil), there would be people who would vote for him.

It is a legal medical procedure and nobody should be legislating what legal medical procedure anyone should have. If you need an appendectomy, you don't want Christian Scientists in the government preventing any kind of medical care. If you need a transfusion, you don't Jehovah's Witnesses in the government preventing you from receiving one.

If someone doesn't believe in having an abortion, they shouldn't have one, and they should work to help prevent unwanted pregnancies, eliminate poverty and fight for women's rights. They shouldn't shut down a necessary medical procedure from being performed as needed.

Seems there was a big push a couple of years ago to get corporations out of ALEC (a primary climate change denier and supporter of dismantling EARNED BENEFIT programs like Social Security and Medicare.

I see that State Farm was active a couple years ago (my insurance company of 40 or so years). I wrote them hoping to find out if they are still members of ALEC, don't yet know. They might not own up to it. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC_Corporations Roland Spies of State Farm was on the board of directors.
